Tar Heel Vanguard
Finds Athens Quiet
By Chuck Hauser
ATHENS, Ga Sept 30-The University of Georgia campus
was quiet tonight as the vanguard of the Tar Heel caravan
rolled in.
But if the campus was quiet, the town was seemingly
wide awake as possible. There was no Jeff's, no Harry's,
no Max s, but tne center of town was reminiscent of Chapel
Hill on an average evening.
The "Varsity" was doing a
thriving liquid business, and the
upstairs poolrcfoni where former
Georgia halfback Charlie Trippi
used to spend his spare time
echoed to the click click of the
billiard balls.
Athens is a typical college
town. And tonight a typical pre
game college atmosphere hung
over it. Conversations and bets
centered on the Carolina-Georgia
contest slated here Saturday.
In less than 35 hours the Tar
Heel train will roll into the
Athens station, and players and
fans alike will step into a friend
ly, familiar atmosphere that one
may find in any college town of
this type.
Across the main street' was
the big gateway leading into the
campus. Georgia freshmen studi
ously avoided passing through
the "hallowed portals" restricted
to upperclassmen.
On the dimly-lit campus, ' fa
miliar titles appeared on more
familiar-looking university build
ings the library, "School of
Pharmacy." and the well-known
Henry Grady school of journal
ism overlooking the stadium.
Sanford stadium lay like an
immense black vacuum in the
dark. In the background the
huge Alumni Memorial build
ing sat, silent but not dark. In
side, Georgia coaches worked
late into the night, planning
strategy for Saturday when the
terrible Tar Heels are to decend
on the Bulldogs.
This is Athens at night. A
tense, waiting Athens.

Raise in Rent
Is Announced
In Dormitories
An increase of 19 per cent in
all university housing rents was
announced yesterday afternoon
by university officials. The in
crease, according to South build
ing officials .was necessitated by
the upward spiralling of prices
for maintence material, supplies,
utilities and labor. Many manu
facturers had warned the Uni
versity purchasing department
in advance of the price changes,
therefore rent adjustments had
to be made to meet the rise.
J. A. Branch, head of the Uni
versity Purchasing department
said yesterday that prices for
repair supplies such as nails,
lumber, paint and panes have
increased over 33 percent since
1945.
Mr. Branch added that al
though coal prices are expected
to drop as a result of increased
production in the mines and a
heavy stockpile, the University
will still, spend approximately
$35,000 more this year to heat
the dormitories. In discussing the
situation, Branch said, "I'm pes
simistic, there's not much chance
of prices going down."
With the price difficulty to
meet, University officials voted
to raise the room' rents after
deliberating since January. This
is the first rent inrease since
before the war.
The University maintenance
program for dormitories has no
appropriation and is budgeted to
be self-supporting. Wages ior
janitor service was raised recent
ly also to conform to the
creased cost of living.

Freshmen Hear Talks
On Campus Activities
By Charles Priichard
Following an introduction to University extra curricular
activities, by eight speakers, Bill Miller, orientation com
mittee chairman, presented a challenge to the new students
m the second freshman assembly yesterday in Memorial
Hall.
Princess,
Compete
Sharman Douglas
For Marquess' Hand
LONDON, Sept. 30. (UP)
Rcmanaic Londoners wondered
today whether the young and
beautiful daughter of U. S. Am
bassador Lewis Douglas is beating
Princess Margaret's time with the
handsome eligible Marquess of
Blandford.
Princess Margaret and the
young Marquess have been linked
by Mayfair gossip for some time,
but the other day, photographers
and autograph hunters found
Sharman Douglas, lovely blonde
daughter of the American ambas
sador, sitting with the Marquess
in a movie theater.
Tongues have wagged ever
since. Since the young Marquess
is definitely a gentleman, and
Princess Margaret is definitely a
brunette, some ' observers have
given Miss Douglas the edge.
The lovely Sharman is a friend
of both Princess Elizabeth and
Princess Margaret, but she also
is decidedly a belle of Mayfair
society. Young guards officers con
sider it a "must" to be seen es
corting Miss Douglas around town
before they finally are "launch
ed" in society.
The vivacious Princess Mar
garet, meanwhile, is operating at
a disadvantage if she really is in
terested in the Marquess. She
has been in Scotland on a summer
holiday.
Soon, however, Princess Mar
garet will be returning to London
and Buckingham Palace. Natur
ally, all Mayfair is looking for
ward to her arrival.
ing the drive. The sale this year
is being limited to one thousand
ticket books.
"I would like to point out,"
said business manager John W;
Parker," that the season books
do not contain the actual re
served seat tickets, but contain
stubs which may be exchanged
for reserved seats during the in
aividual advance sale for each
major production."
"There has been some misun
derstanding about this in tho
past," Parker explained, "and I
would like to emphaize that the
book stubs must be exchanged
for reserved seats to each of the
first four plays."
The Forest Theater production,
scheduled for next May, is the
only one at which seats will not
be reserved. Parker said that the
season ticket sale will be con
tinued through the first play of
the season, "I Remember Mama".
GM Stages Fall

The Rendezvous room will pre
ent the first in a series of Friday
night floor shows tonight at 10
o'clock in Graham Memorial.

According to Lib Stoney, pro

and Barbara Young, vocalist. Miss
Cain, who appeared in the campus
musical, "Sweep it Clean" last
year has been playing in summer

"The rest is up to you," the

Campus States' Rights Demo
crats will gather at 7:30 Monday
evening in the main lounge of
Graham Memorial for the pur-'
pose of forming a new organiza
tion, the Young States Rights
Democrats Club.
Spokesmen for the group said
yesterday the immediate purpose
of the club is to insure a proper
reception for J. Strom Thur
mond, the States' Rights presi
dential candidate, in his appear-;
ance here for a speech in Hill
hall on Tuesday night.
The group also announced its
intention of spreading through
out the campus the principles
and ideals laid down by the
States' Rights Democratic party.
The club's founders wish to ex
tend an invitation to all students
interested in the States Rights
party in order that a good turn
out will be "seen on Monday
night.
One spokesman said the new
club intends to go "all out" as.
a campaign group for Gov. Thur
mond and the States Righters
win or lose.
He added, "Our group believes
it is the duty of every loyal
Southerner who believes in the
Southern way of life to aid Gov.
Thurmond in every way at his
command. The South has never
had a better opportunity to teach
the Democratic Party a much-
needed lesson.
Unfortunately the Democratic
Party in the past few years has
fallen into the hands of a few
power-mad politicians of the
North whose only interest in the
party is to elect their 'yea' men
by stirring racial strife among
minority groups and by 'rabble
rousing."
Another local States Rightcr
said that at the recent Demo
cratic Convention "with smug
self-assurance the Democratic
National Committee gambled the
Southern white vote in an ef
fort to gain the Northern mi
nority vote.
"One has only to ask anyone
who attended the convention to
find out that our Southern dele
gates were treated as poor re
lations and their rights trampl
ed at every move."
A member of the new club ex
pressed his belief that only
through solidly backing Gov.
Thurmond can the South hope
to regain its political bargaining
power and the respect of the nation.
"Only by bargaining the Na
tional Democrats away from mi
nority rule," he asserted, "can
we return the Democratic Party
to the party founded by Jeffer
son, and party based on statci
rights which will respect and
protect our way of life."
